After searching the Trevinos' home on the 500 block of East Iowa Avenue in St. Paul on Monday, officers decided they have enough evidence to arrest Jeffrey. But with Kira's body still unaccounted for, it might be hard to get a murder charge to stick, and prosecutors have to decide whether to charge or release Jeffrey by 10 a.m. today.

In the meantime, a perusal of Jeffrey's Facebook profile (in which he misspells his own name as "Jeffery") turned up this very creepy Walking Dead-themed image of he and his wife (click to enlarge):

Reports published in the last 12 hours by Fox 9 and the Star Tribune contain some interesting new details about the case. First, from Fox:

[Mall of America] Mall security found Kira Trevino's white Chevy Cobalt in a remote part of the parking ramp early Sunday morning -- the same care [sic] a friend told FOX 9 he worked on recently because she'd had a flat tire, a cut brake line and cut transmission line within the last month.

Once he learned Kira Trevino was missing, that friend said he worried someone may have been stalking her or sabotaging her car.

Kira Trevino's sister and mother say they didn't learn she was missing until Sunday, two days after her husband first reported her disappearance to St. Paul police.

Jeffrey D. Trevino, who remained jailed Wednesday on suspicion of homicide in connection with his 30-year-old wife's disappearance, contacted two of her friends Saturday evening, but didn't inform family members until Sunday.

"Sadly he had not contacted any of her family members to see if she was with us," said Kira Trevino's younger sister, Keri Anne Steger. Kira Trevino's car was found in a remote area of the Mall of America parking lot Saturday after she failed to show up for work at the Delia's store she managed there. Police later found her purse and cellphone in the car.

Of course, as the case of murdered Cold Spring Officer Tom Decker recently taught us, the fact that law enforcement arrests someone "in suspicion" of a crime doesn't necessarily mean they have enough evidence for prosecutors to file charges. Nor does the presence of a very-creepy-in-hindsight image on his Facebook profile indicate Jeffrey murdered his wife. But investigators seem to have honed in on Jeffrey as the only suspect in his wife's disappearance for the moment. If charges are filed today, we'll soon learn more about the evidence they're working with.

A lot of people missed Jeffs own comment on the Walking Dead photo. Look in the comments on the right: "Me and the wife out for a walk in the park", it totally changes the context. This assclown planned it!

I find this article interesting. People sometimes plan for months to commit a major crime, hold grudges for the longest time (think Christopher Dorner), and upon hindsight (unfortunately) we see how their true intentions were building up to the primary event. Yes, innocent until proven guilty, but we can't overlook that many odd and suspicious behaviors on Mr. Trevino's part are building up, not to mention the tampering with her vehicle. Who knew her routine and had time and access to do such things? Time will tell.

I saw that, too, and also thought it was extremely disturbing. People often plot murder well in advance. It's also creepy that in all of his public Facebook photos, there is NOT ONE of him smiling. Seems strange.

Is this real life? Anyone who watches The Walking Dead should know that this is a photo of the actors with this douche bag's face over ”Rick's” face. This story is completely bogus..I can't believe people actually believe that's his wife. You really think an arrogant fuck like this is going to Photoshop his wife perfectly then do such a shitty job on himself?! Google image The Walking Dead and I guarantee the real photo with the same exact zombie actresses will come up in the results.

So what?! That picture was posted last April. Apparently everything anyone has ever said or done undergoes scrutiny. Lets just wait and see what happens before we start digging up anything on somebody and saying that it's connected to a crime in some manner. I hope they find her. I also hope her husband has nothing to do with her disappearance.

That picture is from a year ago... Regardless of what he's done, that picture has nothing to do with anything. It's a picture of two actors from the walking dead and he put his face on it... People get upset about the dumbest stuff. I'm disappointed city pages.

@Jennifer Louise Olek Silly, we all know where the photo came from. The point is that he is eluding to his wife being a corpse. Is this related to her case? Likely not. Likely, it is just a creepy image to see considering the facts, much like the title of the article calls it. You really are an arrogant fuck to think that only you recognized the photo for what it is. I mean, jesus, it's origins are listed in the caption of the picture. Calm down, lady.

@mplsjj you are STUPID! that was from a year ago yes! i have seen 100 people post stupid shit like that. how was he supposed to know that almost a YEAR later his wife would come up missing? think before you type shit! you dont know this man, none of us do. so stop putting your two-sense in if you dont know SHIT!

@Onan@justme a facebook photo uploaded in april of last year depicting a popular television show of a guy accused of murder isn't really any more newsworthy than a cat picture from someone's instagram page, no.

“His wife would come up missing” I assume in your world:
9/11 was a setup, Sandy Hook was staged, the moon landing never happened, and
the earth if flat.I follow the facts,
and came to a logical conclusion.He murdered
his wife, planned it, covered it up, and will be convicted.
